Our community of teachers, parents, and priests support our students’ holistic development in helping them become Christian leaders, responsible citizens, and lifelong learners. Using Christ as our centre, we encourage our students to live a life based on empathy and understanding of others. Our extensive co-curricular and extracurricular offerings, along with our high academic standards, have made us the school of choice for Catholic families in the Seymour/Deep Cove community since 1996.
Our code of Reverence, Respect, and Responsibility informs everything that we do. We support each child by nurturing their compassion and reverence for all that is good, while instilling a sense of respect for themselves, for others, and for the wider world. Our learning environment works by establishing high expectations and the strong moral foundation helping each child to thrive. By encouraging students to work hard, make good choices, and follow the school code, we hope to create a more compassionate world by developing the next generation of inspired leaders.
Traditional Values for the Modern World: Graduates of St. Pius are uniquely positioned to navigate the modern world with poise and grace. Through living out the school code, participating in the Catholic traditions, while establishing strong academic foundations through the traditional 3R’s (of reading, writing, and arithmetic), St. Pius graduates evolve into highly disciplined and engaged learners prepared to navigate the next chapter of their lives with great success. Our holistic approach to learning, paired with our commitment to developing the whole child, means that at St. Pius, students not only excel academically but can rise to the occasion in their own lives, becoming accountable, responsible citizens and active members of their community.
